Porex Enhances Sales and Operations Planning with Atlas Planning Suite from John Galt

CHICAGO, May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- John Galt Solutions announced today that Porex, a leader in porous materials development, manufacturing, and innovation has chosen John Galt Solution's Atlas Planning Suite as its new sales and operations planning solution.

Prior to implementing John Galt Solutions, Porex had limited capabilities in sales and operations planning. The Porex team relied on legacy systems and procedures, to plan manufacturing that could not keep pace with the business.

Porex recognized the need for a state of the art technology that would support a new S&OP process, for its unique manufacturing case, and meet the needs of a very demanding customer portfolio. After a thorough analysis, Porex chose John Galt's Atlas Planning suite. Atlas' flexibility will allow Porex to follow its mixed model production process, which includes flow, make-to-stock, make-to-order, and new/custom product production schedules.

"Atlas is at the center of our entire process," said Casey Pustelnik, Vice President of Quality. "Everyone was telling us we had to choose a certain way to conduct our process. John Galt was able to make connections and configure the technology around our various methods of manufacturing and sales planning. It is a perfect fit."

"Again we see that Atlas Planning Suite fits the bill for a major manufacturing company," said Anne Omrod, President & CEO of John Galt Solutions. "We are able to create a low-cost demand planning solution to handle thousands of SKUS with different production schedules for thousands of customers, while making the whole process easier for all the stakeholders."
